Natalia Alianovna Romanova (English: Natasha Romanoff; Russian: Наталья "Наташа Романоф" Альяновна Романова) aka Black Widow (Russian: Черная вдова) is a former Russian KGB agent. She was trained by the Red Room as part of the Black Widow Ops Program to be the ultimate "Super-Spy". She defected to the United States of America from the Soviet Union to join S.H.I.E.L.D.. Later Black Widow became a member of the Avengers and has been on the team for a long time now. She is a woman with a mysterious past which few know about.
Natasha is a professional and sly agent who will get any job done regardless of the difficulty. She went from being one of the best operatives in S.H.I.E.L.D. to a superhero. She held her own as a part of the Avengers for years. However, she doesn't belong with the superhero set due to her helping with S.H.I.E.L.D. Nevertheless, she will keep her word by being behind the scenes or assist the Avengers if needed. Despite Natasha being a superhero, she will always resume her mission to be a spy. Nick Fury commented on Natasha that "running in the shadows is what she was born to do."
